Products description
With a lifting capacity of 8.0 tonnes and symmetrically telescoping double-jointed support arms, the TW280W-G is our most powerful machine in the 2-post range.
Thanks to its extremely large adjustment range, everything from small cars to vans, even with a long wheelbase (e.g. MB Sprinter, motorhomes, special vehicles) can be lifted with ease.
With two operating units (one per column) and two independent hydraulic units, the TW280W-G offers a particularly high level of operating convenience and can be easily adapted to the requirements of the workshop in terms of installation width (4132 mm or less).
As an outstanding highlight, the individual lifting columns communicate with each other completely wirelessly via a secure radio link. They are conveniently controlled via operating units on both columns with monitoring and display of the lifting height in real time.
There is also a practical plug-in adapter holder on the outside of each column, which provides space for the safe storage of two height adapters.

TW280W-400-G - Overview

Extremely large adjustment range
Thanks to the extremely large adjustment range of the support arms, everything from small cars (e.g. Smart) to vans, even those with a long wheelbase, can be lifted without any problems.

Control unit
The convenient control unit (protection class IP 54, 24 V control voltage) is equipped with a limit switch for lifting height limitation and an automatic safety device for safe working. Two control units (one per column) ensure a particularly high level of operating comfort.

E-Motor
Two powerful hydraulic units with high-quality aluminium pump, overpressure safety valve and an industrial-quality electric motor, protected behind a robust motor cover.

Wifi
One outstanding highlight is the wireless communication between the individual lifting columns via a secure radio connection. The system is conveniently controlled via operating units on both columns, which monitor and display the lifting height in real time.

2-stage turntable
The post lift has a 2-stage height-adjustable turntable with double thread and anti-twist protection and a swivelling height of only 120 mm.

Arm-locking system
The support arm locking device and the mechanical synchronisation control using steel cables ensure maximum safety.

M-Supporting arms
Telescopic double-jointed arms (M-arms) allow the doors to open particularly wide thanks to their asymmetrical design.

Door stop protection
The door stop protects your car doors by preventing them from slamming shut unintentionally.

Post protection cover
The post protection cover protects the hydraulic cylinder from flying sparks during welding and flexing work. It offers a high level of safety and impresses with its attractive appearance.

Extention adapters
On each outer side of the column there is a practical holder for plug-in adapters, which offers space for the safe storage of two plug-in adapters each.

FAQ
What is leasing?
Leasing is a method of business finance that allows you to spread the cost of investment in new equipment. The term is usually between 1 and 5 years and repayments are made on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on what suits you best.
Who uses leasing?
Small, medium and large companies together with Government Departments, Schools and Colleges, Charities and many other organisations and bodies.
Can I lease if my business is new or not yet started to trade?
Yes! CLS have developed bespoke start up funding packages especially for business finance. Through our specialist funder network and Own Book, small business finance facilities, we’ve got everything covered.
How do I know if leasing is suitable for my business?
Leasing is suitable for any business and is one of the most popular ways for companies to get the equipment they need rather than settling for something cheaper and inferior. With a CLS finance lease all payments are 100% allowable against pre tax profits so it really is a common sense business finance solution.
What can be leased?
Simple, call us and we will discuss your requirements and talk you through the process. The good news is that we are approving 92% of new business enquiries!
How do I know if I will be approved?
Leasing is a method of business finance that allows you to spread the cost of investment in new equipment. The term is usually between 1 and 5 years and repayments are made on a monthly or quarterly basis, depending on what suits you best.
How soon can a lease be arranged?
Really quickly. Simply get in touch and let us know your business details, what you are looking for and how much it is and we will do the rest. Acceptances are often instant and with the introduction of EchoSign the paperwork can be dealt with in minutes. The only thing you have to wait for is your equipment to be delivered!
Are leasing rates competitive?
Yes, but even when interest rates are high a CLS finance lease remains one of the most cost effective ways to finance equipment.
Why not go to the bank?
You can, however the process may be lengthy and the underwriting strict. Also, with a straight forward bank loan you won’t be able to claim the same tax allowances that a CLS finance lease offers.
